Foster Cats: July 2014

Kittens Seventeen weeks old

All is well in my cat world... well apart from the little issue of I STILL can't mix Turblow (Ashley Banjo) with my cats Godfrey, Gezabelle, Izzabelle and Anibelle. Ashley is a real pain and will go for any cat around!!!! Sometimes even her boys (Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely) If your wondering about the names my daughter Amy is made about the dance group Diversity. So it's God and his Belles V the Diversity cats! At the moment I let one group out and when they all come home we let the others out. Indoors we lock one group in the living room when the others are shepherded upstairs to a bedroom. It works but only just! LOL
Perri is all better now and running me raged Jordan is Jordan a major pain in the butt! Talking of butts Ashley still sits on their heads when the get to much for her!!!! Perri is still a lot smaller than Jordan and I wonder if he will stay that way? After all the real Perri at 19 is still small

Now for my boys

Eating breakfast has the odd problem

Don't worry it's water not milk

And now for the weigh in

Perri 1700 grms (59.67ozs)

Jordan 2260 grms (79.72 ozs)

Still a very big difference

Missed out a couple of weeks as we have been very busy with end of term 'stuff' and collage 'stuff'. Last week 27th June the boys went for their jabs. Now I have never been very happy with these jabs some years ago I had an adult cat and thought it would be nice to get a pair of kittens. Wanting to do the right thing we visited the vet and she was inoculated against flu etc. Then the kittens came and they too had their jabs. Georgina died after a few days and Jem after one day! Didi survived but spent her life with ear problems and the snots! So I'm very apprehensive but a reaction is so rare how could it happen again? Hummm well, Jordan the larger kitten was fine but little Perri has been/ still is pretty poorly! On Saturday he was under the weather and by Sunday not eating or drinking and not able to play. WHY is it always a weekend???? Anyway I found a vet and Perri was put on a drip for a couple of hours (until they closed as they had no one on duty after hours). When we collected him he was looking a lot better and he did eat a little of the special food they sold me.
Monday he ate a little and even played a while with Jordan but mostly he slept. But late afternoon he was sick and had diarrhea so it was of to the vets where they gave me pro-biotics and liquids under the skin (Yeah, strange I had never heard of this?)
Perri does not like the pro-biotics that I have to syringe into his mouth twice a day and it has been a pretty difficult job. He is still sleeping a lot but I'm hoping he is on the mend, still not eating a lot but I'm cooking fish etc for him. He is playing a little now but still not as much as he should so for now it's watching him and fingers crossed.

Their weight this week is

Jordan 1700 grms

Perri 1360 grms (Exactly the same as four weeks ago)

Turblow has also visited the vet to be neutered and modeled this snazzy red sweater for 10 days. I was hoping that when it was removed the boys would no longer try and feed from her (Did not work and they STILL try!!!)
